Recipe: Blackened Salmon

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you've seen me eat this blackened salmon over and over again. My husband, Joe, and I came up with this recipe as our go-to weeknight meal, because it is easy to make and absolutely delicious. In fact, we've won over people who think they don't like salmon with this recipe! Serve it on top of your favorite salad, on a whole wheat bun as a sandwich or eat it on its own. Any way you enjoy it, you will get heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein and a meal that packs a lot of flavor. Enjoy!

Sarah-Jane and Joe’s Blackened Salmon:

4 (4 oz) salmon fillets, skin removed

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

2 tsp blackened seasoning

2 tsp Old Bay seasoning

2 tsp dark brown sugar

Combine the blackened seasoning, Old Bay seasoning and dark brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside. Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets and rub in. Then rub the fillets evenly on both sides with the seasoning mixture. Heat the other tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet (we actually love to use our cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until done. Enjoy!
